1. What are cookies?
When you use our online services, cookies and other tracking technologies may be used in various ways, for example to provide you with an optimised experience on our websites. Cookies are used by all of our websites. Our company uses cookies and other tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixels, tags and APIs. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer browser or mobile device when you visit the websites. Cookies are then sent back to the original website on each subsequent visit or to other websites that recognise the cookie in order to record the user's online activities. There is also a difference between session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only exist until you close your browser. Persistent cookies have a longer lifespan and are not automatically deleted when you close your browser. We try to use or allow the use of cookies with a maximum lifetime of 5 years. Only in exceptional circumstances, e.g. for security reasons and if absolutely necessary, a cookie will have a longer lifetime.
2. Use of cookie files Cookies are used for different purposes.
They allow you to be identified as the same user on different pages of a website or between different websites. The information we collect through the use of cookies may include, but is not limited to.
2.1. What cookie files do we use?
Required cookies: Cookies may be necessary or non-essential, with necessary cookies being used only to carry out or facilitate transmission over a network, or strictly necessary to provide an online service you have requested. For these types of cookies, as defined in the relevant legislation, we do not need your consent to collect these cookies.
Technical cookies: We strive to provide our visitors with a sophisticated and user-friendly website that automatically adapts to visitors' needs and desires. To do this, we use technical cookies to display our web pages to you so that they work properly, create your user account, log you in and manage your activities. These technical cookies are absolutely essential for the proper functioning of our websites.
Functional cookies: We also use functional cookies to store your preferences and to help you use our websites effectively (for example, these cookies store your preferred currency, language, search queries and your previous settings). These functional cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of our websites or app, but they provide additional functionality and improve your experience.
Analytical cookies: We use these cookies to obtain information about how our visitors use our websites. This allows us to find out what works and what doesn't, to optimise and improve our websites and to understand the effectiveness of advertising and communications. The data we collect includes the web pages you visit, the pages you leave the site from, the platform you use, the emails you open and respond to, and information about the date and time. This also means that we may use information about how you interact with websites, such as the number of clicks you make on a particular page, your mouse movements and scrolling activity, the keywords you use and the text you enter in various fields. We use analytics cookies as part of our online advertising campaigns to determine how users interact with our websites after being shown an online advertisement (this may include advertisements on third party websites). Analytics cookies may also be used to enable our business partners to determine whether their customers are using the offers embedded on their websites. In addition to our own cookies, we use Google Analytics (including the UserID feature), segment.io and their analytics services to make our websites even more enjoyable and of higher quality.
Marketing and advertising cookies: We may use these cookies to tailor the ads you see. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising. We share some of the information collected by the cookies with third parties that we use for advertising services. We use third-party cookies to collect player data such as IP addresses, user IDs, location, device, browser and visitor frequency.
The third party provider collects this data and then provides us with anonymous information about the players who play on our websites, which we use to design marketing campaigns and for analysis. Note that we do not have access to this data at an individual level, meaning we can only access the anonymised, aggregated data.
3. How to manage the use of cookies
In the settings of browsers such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox or Chrome, you can specify which cookies you want to accept and reject. Where you can find these settings depends on the browser you use. Use the "Info/Help" function in your browser to find the desired settings. If you do not wish to accept certain technical and/or functional cookies, you may not be able to use certain features of our websites. We do not currently support "Do Not Track" browser settings.
